PALESTINE, TEX, Msrch 20.-At IL
O'Clock last night the convention had
taken l5G ballots without SO much as 8
fractional change in the vote. There was
considerable wrangling and much con-
fusion, but nothing occurred 10 break the
monotony or bring about the alliance of
any Of the delegations.
The prevailing opinion now is that
neither Martin nor Perkins will get the
nomination and that the race will be
opened anew with all the candidates in
tle field.
A resolution combining future nomina-
tiOns to men formally before the cOnVen-
ton was defeated.
Scott Fields and Sam Wilson are the
two prominent men in the minds of every
delegate, and one or the other will be
the nominee in case Martin and Perkins
are shelyed.
There is some talk of turning the men
loose on the district. A few of the dele
gates went home last night.
The candidates attended divine service
to-day, and are supposed to be still pray
ing. Some Of the delegates are caucus
ing, while others are IN carriages taking
in the town.
The convention will reassemble in the
morning 1t is the general belief that the
matter will be settled Monday.

slasm, courage and ability FIR the work
he had to do. His theology was as broad
2s the word itself. Il was not theology

would bIud on at Princeton and AndOver.
That is all we'll enough for those who
love such bondage. Because Beecher

to the first place in the race for the
pennant OF the Southern Lssgue. New
Orleans met 9 terrible defeat at Mem
phis, and goes back to second, which
position the will have hard work
to maintain while on her present
tour. The c,ntest today on the local
grounds was very enjoyable, and was
marked by one or two pretty lair
features. The stick work Of Flrle and
B. han came in for the lions share OF
the applause, while the tieldlug Of
Hayes, Of the Mobiles, and Reeder
and Clinton, Of the home team,
was very fine. Maui pitched
his usual good game, making
several of the visiting batsmen
lay down their sticks at time when a
bit would have netted one or two
scores. Bnks did good work at short
field, being credited with several very
difficult stops and throwing well to
bases. Mannion played fair game
and made two corking coed hits. Too
much praise cannot be bestowed
on Nicholas. He caught magnificent.
ly, threw out two men at fecond and
batted in good form. He is one OF the
hardest working men in the Nashville
team and lie general favorite with the
public. The visitors sre not very
strong at the bat, besides they
have a disagreeable way OF kicking
among themselves, habit which il
bound t. affect the playing of all.
Manager Kelly should put a stop tc
this at once. NJ Ike the men behave
themselves aud play ball. The team
outIanks Savannah several points.

A Big Deal.

NEW YoRK, May cit was asserted
on excellent authority last night that
the Athletic Baseball Club, OF Phils-
delphis, has been sold to syndicate
composed of Philadelphia lawyers.
The terms Of the GALE are not known,
but the arrangements for the transfer
have beep completed. The cause :
signed is lack OF support. 1t was as
serted last night also that negotiations
were going on for the sale of the Met
ropolitan team, as Mr.. Wiman was
tired Of paying out money for the sup
port Of the club, and that the sale may
take place any day. Another startling
baseball rumor last night was that one
OF the biggest deals known was being
made between the League and Ameri-
can Association, whereby the Cincin-
natl club was to be trar siered to the
League, and the Indianapolis club to
take its place in the Am aricsn Asso-
citation. The excl ement among base
ball men in this city consequently was
very great, ipasmuch as the story OF
the latter deal came from Cincinnati
man. This deal, 1t 10 said, has been
forming for some days, but Just when
it is to be sprung Is not known. A
dispatch from Cincinnati last night
says nothing OF such a deal Is known
| there.

IRELAND ROBBERS,

The eAdent's letter in the Guilford
Miller case has aroused public atten-
ton TO the Wholesale robberios in land
that have been going on for some time
under the sanction OF law, and there Is
reason TO hope that something may be
done to force the thieves to surrender
the stolen estates, aud bring them to
msrited punishment. The Doodle al
dermsn OF New York and Chicago
are saints compared with these land
grabbers. No law tina! has yet been
passed has been strong enough to re-
strain them. They have taken posses
sion of Thousands Of acres under the
irrigation act. They pay "actual" set
tiers small sum to secure sections for
them, and thus in time beco ne the
owners OF vast bodies Of land. Foreign
as well as domestic corporations have
engaged la this wholesale plumber OF
the peoples domain, and even where
henafids settlements have been made,
as in Miller's case, they dispossess the
settler aud boldly take possession OF
his clearing. These robbers, land
gr abb IRE. highwaymen have also rob-
bed the poor Indian. In Michigan not
many months ago the Indian agent
"stAndiDg" in with them, band oil
these land robbers compelled the In-
dams on reservation Ia the peninsula
to sell for merely nominal sum slate
quarry that ia now held to be worth
millions. Such crime as this should
be made impossible in future and
this case ehould be given to the
courts. A commission appointed by
the President, organized like the In
tersEAte Commission to call for per
sons and papers and report cases with
evidence to the Attorney General fol
instant prosecution in the Fedora
Courts would reach them. The rob
bers should be made to dis

THE B,NAI FIRTH.

There is nothing more character

ton -kr. Morrow.

The second game of the champion
ship series between Memphis and New
Orlea was played at Citizens Park
yesterday afternoon and was witnessed
BY about 1900 persons The ls &c at
tendance was caused by the fact that
New Orleans would have its crack
pitcher in the box. That he did not
come up to the expectations is proven
by the score. The name Of the crack
pitcher" is Aydelotte, and the way the
home team hammered him was a
caution. They had little trouble in
finding his delivery and An 19ss aI sNs
Black making home runs by sending
tbs bail over the fence. Brennan sup
ported him fairly well behind the bat.
Smith pi ched finely for Memphis, and
Crotty and the balance of the team
